Zhang blushed and said, "Isn't that right? The big exam is coming soon. During this period, he has been studying day and night and is very panicked. Hey, I don't know what he is panicking about? He has been taking the exam for so many years.

I'm an old man, but I still get extremely panicked at this time. I don't even dare to speak loudly these days, saying it's disturbing his study. Hey, brother Lin Jue came just in time. You can talk to him for me.

Tell me, if you don’t succeed in Qiu Wei this time, you have to go to the boat shop and work honestly. Don’t have those big dreams of Spring and Autumn."

Before Lin Jue could answer, Lin Youde's voice came from the back room: "What weird thing is this woman saying again?"

As he spoke, Lin Youde rushed out of the back room with a cheerful face. Compared with before, Lin Youde was wearing a blue autumn robe, his face was shiny, and he looked energetic. He was completely different from the submissive and tattered look before.

.

"Young Master Lin Jue, if you are virtuous and have lost your temper, I will welcome you from afar. Please accuse me." Lin Youde quickly stepped forward and bowed deeply to the ground.

Lin Jue smiled and returned the courtesy: "Cousin Youde looks good, he is polite and courteous."

Lin Youde smiled while busy saluting Lu Wu, who bowed and thanked her in return.

Mrs. Zhang complained at the side: "Why don't you invite Mr. Lin Jue and Miss Luwu to come in and sit down? You guys don't know any etiquette."

"Yes, yes, please come quickly, please come quickly." Lin Youde smiled hurriedly and extended his hand to greet you.

Everyone sat down in the room, and Xiaohu also took a tea bowl and made tea. After a few polite words, Zhang went to the back garden to pick vegetables, and Lvwu also went to help, leaving only Lin Youde to accompany Lin Jue and talk.

Lin Jue took a sip of tea, looked at Lin Youde and said with a smile: "I heard that cousin Youde has been forgetting to eat and sleep recently, in order to prepare for the autumn exam, right?"

Lin Youde smiled honestly and said: "Yes, I can't help it. After more than ten years of taking the exam, I have failed in the exam. It was made very clear at the last family meeting. If those over thirty-five years old fail to take the exam this year, the family will be in trouble."

No more discounts will be given. In that case, I will no longer be able to take the exam, and my family will find a way for me to continue studying and take the exam. Besides, after so many years, the whole family can live without going out to make money because I am studying and taking the exam.

I am poor, and I can't bear to continue. If it weren't for your help, Mr. Hu'er, who allowed Hu'er to work with you and subsidize us a lot of money, I don't know how to survive this year. So this is my last year to take the big exam.

, success or failure is only determined this time, so I have to redouble my efforts. Even if I fail again this year, it can still be regarded as my best effort."

Lin Jue nodded and said: "So that's it. Cousin Youde is working hard. But I wonder how sure you are this year?"

Lin Youde smiled bitterly and said: "How can you be sure? I have been reading for so many years, and I am no longer good at reading. As I get older, there is no benefit from reading. But I just want to be clear about it. If it doesn't work out, I will work in a boat shop and become a manager.

The Master of Accounting may still be able to do the job, but... he feels a little unwilling to do so."

Lin Jue smiled and said: "That's true. After all, after studying for so many years, I feel like my ambitions are unfulfilled."

Lin Youde smiled and said: "I don't have any lofty ambitions. It's just that it's everyone's dream to succeed in studying and to have a glorious ancestor. Actually, if you think about it, it's just that."

Lin Hu said from the side: "It doesn't matter if dad doesn't pass the exam. If dad wants to be an official, in the future my uncle will pass the exam and become a senior official. Let him think of something for dad. Otherwise, I will save money and donate money to get an official position for dad."

, in short, this is the fulfillment of dad’s dream.”

Lin Youde scolded: "What are you talking about, this kid? If you want to be an official, you have to rely on your own ability and buy it. What is an official position? You can't rely on others to support you. What is the use of such an official position? You are so young.

I don’t know where so many bad thoughts come from. Dad, I can tell you, you have to be honest and honest and don’t have unrealistic ideas. Although dad has dull qualifications, he can be clean in his life."

Lin Hu muttered: "It's good to be an official, but I have to think so much."

Lin Youde pointed at Lin Hu and smiled at Lin Jue: "Master, please discipline him more for me. What did this kid say?"

Lin Jue smiled and said, "You're a kid, cousin Youde doesn't need to be as knowledgeable as him."

Lin Youde said seriously: "That can't be done. My son, Lin Youde, must be upright and cannot be gossiped about. It's not that I didn't have the chance to pass the imperial examination. In the ninth year of Jinxiu, I almost passed the Qiuwei examination, but I finally gave up.

Chance."

Lin Jue smiled and said, "Oh? Why is that?"

Lin Youde said: "That year, someone gave money to bribe the examiners. One of them had a good relationship with me. He secretly told me that he wanted me to write an essay in the answer sheet. I only needed to write the agreed marks in the examination sheet.

, when the examiner who marked the paper saw such a mark, he thought it was a gift of money, so he would be lenient and take care of the admission. In the end, I did not do this. No one knows about this matter to this day."

Lin Jue smiled and said, "Is there such a thing?"

Lin Youde said: "Of course, there are a lot of tricks here. So the transcription system was added in the 13th year of Jinxiu, just to prevent someone from cheating on the examiner."

Lin Jue nodded slightly. He had also heard of these things. Cheating in exams has occurred in every era, and the methods are endless and innovative. It is not surprising.

"Why would you, cousin Youde, refuse such an opportunity? Since someone is cheating, this exam is unfair. Since it is unfair, why do you need to stick to the bottom line?" Lin Juexiao asked.

Lin Youde said sternly: "There is a god three feet above your head. How can you feel at ease with such things? Besides, I have been studying for so many years and have read hundreds and thousands of sages. Don't I still know the principles of life? I'll take the test

It’s okay if I don’t take the imperial examination, but I don’t need to rely on these means. I told myself that no matter what, I can’t have any stain on my character in this life, which is sorry for my own conscience. The matter of studying for the imperial examination is a sacred and solemn matter, and there is no room for it.

Blasphemy.”

Lin Jue looked at Lin Youde with a lot of emotions in his heart. Perhaps in the eyes of others, Lin Youde's stupid, stubborn and ridiculous behavior, but Lin Jue felt the persistence in Lin Youde's heart. Maybe this persistence is a bit ridiculous, but it is
